And the suckers who bought the first iPhone had to wait 2 years to send pictures as well as buy a new phone. 🤣

I was referring to MMS. Using email limits who the pictures could go to since many phones cannot open a picture sent by email. The industry accepted way of sending pictures is through MMS. .

When Sprint went from SMS to their web based short mail messaging system you probably joined the crowd in the cries of "rotten company, no SMS!" so why is the iPhone exempt from those standards?

Yeah you found a workaround throu email to cover up the lack of MMS but it still did not do what the rest of the industry could do, including $30. Virgin Mobile phones.

Don't get me wrong I sell the iPhone, it is a great device but it is made by the most control freak company imaginable.

MMS is one of the weakest industry legacy standards there is, and unless you're a Sprint customer it wasn't even a viable service until the past few years.

All Verizon and Sprint phones can and have picture mail email addresses I can't vouch for TMo- I never tried. I never missed MMS and still don't use it.

I mean MMS is a bag of hurt- MMS plans are pricey (or grouped in with SMS) whereas email is free. There are various size limits, video limits, and in most cases MMS plans require a redundant data plan. Email is still the superior choice and is going to likely replace it as the rest of the world catches up.

Would you care to explain how EMAIL is free but SMS/MMS is NOT on an iPhone.

Hint: data plan: $30, SMS plan $20

Because if I have a data plan (which you're going to have if you have a high-end smartphone) , sending email is free, but sending an MMS isn't.

If you pay $20.00 for an SMS plan, that's all it's good for. So why would you pay an extra $20.00 just to have a feature that is redundant only doesn't work as well?
